Chapter 425 Suspicious Person
Although they didn't know the person in front of them, they knew Tang Shi.
Everyone knew that General Tang had joined the rebels before, which caused a great disturbance in the capital.
The rebels had just entered the city, and General Tang called them in at this time.
It was not for the purpose of taking concubines, but for wanting other people's children, which was really strange.
Maybe he wanted to use the excuse of wanting to buy children to take the opportunity to arrest them and accuse them of kidnapping children.
A human tooth quickly expressed his opinion: "Sir, although we are all human teeth, some of the children in our hands were sold to us by their parents, and we bought them with money. Some of them were from families that could not afford to raise them, so they asked us to help find good families."
"We have never caught other people's children and sold them."
When the human tooth spoke, his eyes rolled around, and it was obvious that he was not telling the truth.
The human teeth echoed one after another, and they were so sincere and looked more serious than the other.
Gongsun Yue was not in a hurry. He gently reached out and played with the jade pendant on his waist, and then stroked the hair crown.
Whether it was the hair crown on his head or the jade pendant on his waist, they were all top-quality jade. It was obvious that he was a wealthy man.
The human teeth looked at his clothes and their voices became smaller.
This gentleman looked really rich. The jade pendant on his waist alone was not cheap.
If this gentleman really wanted to buy a child, wouldn't they have missed the opportunity?
Although they knew there might be risks, they still couldn't help but calculate in their hearts how to avoid the risks and make this deal.
Seeing these people's thoughts floating, Gongsun Yue smiled and said, "You don't have to be so restrained. My uncle really wants this child, but he is worried that if he comes in person, rumors of infertility will spread, so he sent me."
Many people want a son, but they are worried about being laughed at for infertility, so they ask their relatives to buy the child.
Others are worried that if they reveal their true appearance and are seen by the seller, the seller will regret it in the future and wait until they grow up to have a child, so they ask someone to come and buy the child and move away.
The human guards had seen this many times, so they didn't think it was strange.
Gongsun Yue took out a stack of banknotes from his arms.
"These banknotes are a gift for meeting you. No matter whether you can catch the kid or not, these are rewards for you. There will be a reward after the success."
When the human guards saw the banknotes, their minds became active instantly.
Such a thick stack of banknotes must be tens of thousands of taels.
Each of them can get thousands of taels.
Thousands of taels!
Several generations can't earn so much.
For so much money, even if it's a trap, they will jump in!
Several people rushed to Gongsun Yue and scrambled for the banknotes in front of them.
While putting the portrait in their arms, they asked, "Sir, do you have a portrait of the child?"
Gongsun Yue smiled, "Since I asked you to come here, I will certainly not let you make a wasted trip. Of course I have a portrait."
"But this person's identity may not be simple, and his whereabouts are a mystery. He has a lot of people protecting him."
"The only thing I can be sure of is that this person is indeed in the royal capital. I wonder if you are sure."
A Renya immediately spoke up and said, "Don't worry, sir. We have a wide network of contacts. As long as this person is in the royal capital, we can definitely find him. But we owe a lot of favors, and we need to take care of things everywhere."
"No problem." Gongsun Yue shook his fan, "As long as you can find the person, I will give you a reward, and you will never be disappointed."
Gongsun Yue took out the portrait from his arms and handed it to them.
"I have a lot of portraits. You can divide them among yourself."
The human teeth couldn't help but hiss when they saw the portraits.
"This child is really very beautiful. Not to mention that he is your uncle, even we would like to take him home and make him our son."
"Yes, yes, this child is a rare talent. Don't worry, we will not let you down."
A matchmaker said cautiously, "We never do illegal transactions. This time we saw that you are sincere and really want this child."
"If this child follows you, you will enjoy a good life. We have done a good thing. But please don't punish us for this." As soon
as the matchmaker asked, the other human teeth stopped what they were doing and looked at Gongsun Yue.
Gongsun Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Don't worry, since I have found you, I will definitely not harm you."
"Just do it with confidence."
The human teeth couldn't help but smile, and each of them was beaming with joy.
A human tooth used to go in and out of Xingyuefang frequently, and recognized the identity of the person in the painting at a glance.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This child belongs to Xingyuefang, and now the owner of Xingyuefang has not returned yet, and his life or death is unknown. If she kidnaps this child at this time, she will not be blamed by Xingyuefang in the future.
She thought of the heavy reward Gongsun Yue mentioned, and secretly suppressed the news and didn't tell anyone about it.
Some people in the human teeth also recognized Xiao Chengyu, but none of them told anyone about this person.
After several of them left, Tang Shi asked, "These private agents are not under the control of the government and have done a lot of bad things. Do you really not care?"
"Who said I don't care? It's just that this matter is not my responsibility. When this matter is over, someone will deal with them."
"The money I gave them may just be enough to compensate the victims."
Tang Shi said with a little sympathy.
Some private agents are okay, just making some hard-earned money, while some private agents not only buy, but also steal and rob.
Many children from good families have been killed by them.
Before, the officials of Dayun did not care about them, but instead raised these private agents for their use.
Now they, Dashun, will not leave these private agents alone.
Once Your Majesty has cleaned up the capital, officially announced the country's name to the world, and taken over the imperial palace, you will perfect the laws, and then none of these rats in the gutter will be able to escape.
In the past few days, the Shunyi Army was busy investigating the remnants of Dayun, and the ruffians were busy looking for people, which made the whole capital lively.
After everyone was done, they went to the tavern to have a drink, which made the business in the capital much better.
Some businessmen originally wanted to leave the capital, but seeing that the business was so good in the past few days, they were reluctant to leave.
After all, businessmen still focus on business.
These people used a lot of connections and used their own methods to investigate everywhere.
Even Gan Tian found a lot of suspicious people at home.
Some pretended to be food deliverymen, and some pretended to be night incense sellers, using various means to sneak into the house.
But after all, they were not specialized in this, and their actions revealed disgust and sneakiness, so they were discovered by Gan Tian at a glance.
She was on high alert, fearing that these people were bad guys, but she didn't expect that they only looked at the children in the house and left.
[What faction do these people belong to? Why are they targeting us children? ]
